How wondrous great, how glorious bright
must our Creator be,
who dwells amidst the dazzling light
of vast eternity.

Our soaring spirits upwards rise
to reach the burning throne
and long to see the blessed Three
in the Almighty One.

Our reason stretches all its wings,
and climbs above the skies;
but still how far beneath thy feet
our groundling knowledge lies!

While all the heavenly powers conspire
eternal praise to sing,
let faith in humble notes adore
the great mysterious King.
